Fiddletown

by Alvin Huey

Matt and Darrell stated it accurately as the transparency was pretty bad. NELM is less than 6, tough time seeing 14-15 mag galaxies with the 22", so I stuck with socializing and viewing "eye candy" which I hardly do. LOL. Saw stuff like, M95, 96, 105, 65, 66, 101, 51, 13, 42, Virgo chain, some of the fun NGC's, such as 4565, 4449. Believe it or not, it was actually the first time I looked at some of these with the 22" LOL Floated around Coma, Leo and Virgo most of the night.

Didn't even attempt to continue the Abell Planetary survey. I have only 9 left.

BTW, I still owe the OR from last month. I typed it up, but need to compile them and post here later.

And It wasn't even dark all night...as Darrell said, the sky glow is very bad.crept as high as 45 degrees.
